BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 20, 1920.

Application filed November 11, 1918. Serial No. 262,008.

To all 'whom t may concern Be it known that I, HENRI E. MARCH., a subject of the King of Great Britain, resid ing at Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appe-rtains to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to bottles and more particularly to milk bottles.

An object of the present invention is to provide a milk bottle whereby the cap or stopper thereof may be manually removed Without spilling the contents of the bottle or injuring the cap in any manner.

With the above and other objects in View which will hereinafter appear as the description continues, the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and formation of parts as will he hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings has been shown a simple and preferred form of the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details herein exhibited, but the right is hereby reserved to any changes, alterations or modifications to which recourse may be had that come within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing the efficiency of the same.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a side elevation of the neck an ordinary milk bottle; u

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the same;

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bottle; and,

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view illustrating the manner of ejecting the cap with the ball of the finger.

eferring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings wherein like and corresponding parts are designated by similar reference characters throughout the several views:

The numeral 1 indicates the neck of an ordinary milk bottle which is provided with an enlarged upper flange 2 and this flange is provided with a recess 3 in which is seated the usual disk or cap 4 for closing the neck of the bottle.

Herebefore it has been a hard matter to remove these caps 4 in gaining access to the bottle and various instruments have been used which not only destroy the cap 4, but ofttimes cause the milk or contents of the bottle to spill therefrom. In carrying out the present invention the milk bottles are made in the usual manner, but are formed with a recess s0 that the edge of the cap 4 will project within this recess whereby the ball of a finger may be easily and readily inserted under this cap for removing the same without the least injury, or spilling the liquid contained within the bottle. In one side of the neck of the bottle, I provide a recess 5 which extends through the ange 2 and in forming this recess a bulge 6 is formed within the neck of the bottle and extends up to the bottom of the recess, thereby providing a block within the bottom or seat 7 of this recess. The disk 4 when being applied to the bottom is seated within the recess in the usual manner and rests upon the seat 7 so as to prevent any leakage. A portion of the edge of the disk extends within the recess as better shown in Figs. 2 and 4. IlVhen it is desired to remove the cap or disk 4 the ball of the finger as indicated by the numeral S grips one edge of the disk whereby the latter can be readily forced from its seat within the bottle, and in this manner the disks or caps may be easily and readily removed without injuring the same or spilling the contents of the bottle.

Having thus fully described my inven tion, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A bottle having an enlarged upper flange formed with a seat, a disk adapted for location within said seat for closing said bottle, a portion of the neck of said bottle below said seat; being bulged inwardly to form a recess, the inner edge of said disk adapted to project within the neck of said bottle.

2. The combination with a bottle neck having a flange formed with a seat. of :i closure disk adapted to be seated within said seat, a part of said fiange and bottle neck being bulged inwardly to form a recess, the said disk having a portion projecting within said recess, whereby the said disk may be removed upon the insertion of the ball of the finger into said recess.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand. v

HENRI E. MARCIL.
